AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Democratic Attorney General Janet Mills has more to cheer than her election as governor. Democrats also are going to control the Legislature.
Democrats won control of the Maine Senate and widened their majority in the House. It’ll be the first time since 2010, when Republican Paul LePage was first elected, that one party has control of both the Blaine House and the Statehouse.
Democrats say they’ve won at least 19 of 35 seats in the Senate, and at least 80 of 151 seats in the House.
Mills, for her part, has pledged to usher in an era of “open doors” and collaboration in state government.
